FUN FACT: We celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11th because on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, a cease fire was declared between allies, hostiles, and Germany in World War 1 then known as “The Great War.”

Today we salute you Veterans and from all of us here at Orthopedic Center of Florida:
